Graphic Tees, Jeans and Waterfall Cardigans

More easy mum life outfits, with graphic tees and jeans worn together with colourful waterfall cardigans and Converse.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I liked all the matchy-matchy purple in this outfit! With the purple graphic print, I pulled out some lilac accessories. These beaded earrings are such a good match for the lilac of my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, and I added another shade of purple with this berry waterfall cardigan. The kids had a sports event on and I took a little time to myself in the morning to have an enjoyable opshop browse after running a few errands.

The day heated up nicely, so much so that I left the cardigan in the car when I went to pickup the kids. Unfortunately it left me with no layers to remove when a bird pooped on me, but my friend told me it was good luck as she helpfully cleaned it up with some tissues. The Polene Numero Neuf bag is a cute mini size for just the essentials, but it meant I had no tissues on me! Thankfully I could go home and jump in the shower, and it all washed off the tee.

Other ways to wear: graphic planet tee and skirt, magenta waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways,  grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, pink Converse and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Tee: Uniqlo Mickey Mouse 'Mickey Stands' short sleeve graphic tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another graphic tee and jeans outfit, this time with my coated denim skinny jeans. I wore Converse with this outfit too, as there was a lot of walking to do, taking advantage of a public holiday day off to take the kids to MovieWorld theme park.

Again I went a little matchy-matchy, with the red waterfall cardigan matching the red in the Mickey mouse tee, although the shades are slightly different. The black Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag is a classic and it matched the coated denim skinny jeans well, although I did also carry a big reusable tote for everyone's water bottles.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for a day with a lot of walking and rides, we had such a fun time.

Black Cardigan and Floral Printed Dresses With Leggings

Last time I wore this cardigan I commented on how it's been in my wardrobe for so long, even before the blog! While I wore it then with jeans, it's nice and warm for wearing over dresses too, as I've worn it here with both of these floral dresses for winter weekend days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace, custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

This Jaase navy autumn leaves print Celine dress is a firm favourite. Being a light viscose it's good in warmer weather, but it layers nicely for winter with a cosy cardigan like this, especially when paired with leggings and my trusty black ankle boots.

The only thing I regretted about this outfit was the leggings - they kept me warm but we visited a friend with dogs that shed and black cardigan was maybe not the best choice - the leggings got covered in dog fur! The dogs were cute enough to make up for it though.

I tried to dress the outfit up a little with the layered necklaces, but they were tangled and hidden behind my hair in the photos sadly. 

There isn't any pink in the autumn leaves print on this dress but I still felt like carrying this magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch - it was an opshop find a while back and I've been enjoying wearing it a lot lately.


Last worn: black cardigan, studded earrings, Tiffany necklace, silhouette necklace, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, black ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and band tee, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan

Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace, Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

No ankle boots this time, but otherwise a very similar outfit to the one above, with another floral dress, leggings and the black cardigan again. I added the silver statement earrings to match the silver layered necklaces and the silver hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

A big bag was needed for the day as I had to carry a bit around. We had church in the morning and then I volunteered at a Bunnings fundraising sausage sizzle in the afternoon so I went with my comfortable Converse for being on my feet most of the day. The pastel pink is a much lighter pink than the pink in the print of the dress, but I still liked the extra touch of pink they added to this outfit, and I was very glad of the comfortable shoes at the end of the sausage sizzle!

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the earrings - I've never had issues with them before but they kept falling out while I was manning the sausage sizzle - had to put them in my bag at one point as I kept knocking them out accidentally! Thankfully I didn't lose either of them.


Last worn: black cardigan (above), silver earrings, Tiffany necklace (above), Tiffany heart necklace, pastel floral print dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and jeans, pastel floral print dress with yellow, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and printed jeans.

Green Jeans, Striped Tees And Cocoon Cardigans

On some warmer winter days recently I just needed these light cocoon cardigans over my jeans and striped tee outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a few errands to run and it was quite a sunny morning, so I just added this lightweight cocoon cardigan. The cardigan was an opshop find, one I'm always glad I picked up. I was hoping for good opshopping luck as I had a few bags of donations to drop off that morning. Of course I walked away with a few opshop scores for myself too after dropping things off and having 'just a little browse'.

I like the simplicity of this outfit - the teal jeans are a good pair with the navy and white striped tee, and the white Converse was a little bit of matchy-matchy with that. Nothing else matched, with the navy stripes in the tee and the black knit cardigan and tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag, but I liked how all the neutrals looked together.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy and white striped tee, mixed metal necklace, teal jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and pink jeans, navy and white striped tee and shorts, teal jeans and blouse, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mossimo black and white striped v-neck tee (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I don't normally wear a lot of neutral outfits, but here's a second neutral outfit in a row, with a black and white striped tee and olive jeans with the black Converse and the grey duster cocoon cardigan. The cardigan and the striped tee are both opshop finds.

Although I usually like adding a little extra colour to my outfits with accessories I decided to stick with the neutrals with this one. The black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag goes with everything and I really liked the neutral beaded necklace against the black stripe tee.

As you can see from my post of the 30 ways to wear these olive jeans, I wear them with black a lot, but this is the first time I've worn this particular tee with them as it's a recent opshop find. I really liked the combination, good for another quiet weekend day with a few errands to complete.

Last worn: grey duster cardigan, neutral beaded necklace, olive jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey duster cardigan and skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester

Red Tees and Black Cardigans With Skinny Jeans

Just like in my previous post, wearing red tees again! This time paired with black knits and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee 
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

I love how blanket-like this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana is! The black and white print means it goes with everything, and jeans and a tee is a bit of a staple for me in winter, especially paired with this cosy topper. It was a nice easy outfit for working from home, with the school run and then the end of term wrap-party for sports in the evening. I just wrapped the knit around me to keep me warmer at night!

I did take a big book along with me to the party, it was a party for the kids, so I just had to sit on the sidelines. I needed a big bag for it and this Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag was perfect, as it fit my essentials, the large novel I was reading from the library, and my water bottle too.

The tee, like the necklace, is recently thrifted. While the necklace sticks with the neutral colour scheme of the black and white knit and Converse, black jeans and grey bag, I liked the pop of colour the red tee added to this outfit.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana, statement beaded necklace, red crew neck tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana and jeans, red crew neck tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted blue knotted beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit! It was a quiet weekend but I had a couple of errands to run. We were celebrating a big milestone at work the next day, so I ran round a few grocery stores to pick up the perfect ingredients for a cookie platter. It was fun to put together, especially as I ate a couple accidentally broken cookies that didn't make it into the box at the end!

Just like the outfit above, the red tee provides most of the colour in this outfit, with the white Converse, grey skinny jeans, and black cocoon cardigan. I did add a little extra colour with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and the blue beaded necklace too. Just like the necklace in the outfit above, it's a recent opshop find.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, black cocoon cardigan, red v-neck tee, blue beaded necklace, grey skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, red v-neck tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and skirt.

Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Chloe Bags

Two plain tee and maxi skirt outfits, topped with denim jackets and accessorised with Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for working from home, with sports for the kids in the evenings. I like wearing maxi skirts as it is an extra cover on my legs from the inevitable mossie attack - no matter how much bug spray I cover myself in, ha!

This copper toned tee is really autumnal with the ochre orange maxi skirt. I like wearing this skirt with rust and red and burgundy shades, so I really loved this outfit. Especially with the brown Converse, gold statement necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag. It all felt perfect for a cooler autumn day.

Surprisingly it's the first time I've shared this denim jacket on the blog, a Christmas gift from the annual pre-Christmas opshopping day. It's a nice relaxed fit and will be perfect for layering under when the winter weather arrives here shortly in Brisbane.


Last worn: clay earrings, copper tee, circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: copper tee and skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, brown Converse and animal print, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a mixed day, with the Anzac parade and ceremony in the morning (my boys were marching in the parade) and then a playdate for my son in the afternoon. Despite the rainy weather it wasn't too cold so I went for this maxi skirt to be neither over or underdressed for either occasion. I like the tie dye print on the skirt, although it's the first time I've worn this grey tee with it! I like pairing it with greys and neutrals so it was nice to give this combination a try.

I went with my Chloe Marcie bag to store all our water bottles plus the essentials, and then I chose this rose gold necklace. It's definitely not the true gold shade of the hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, but I like pairing different metals together, and thought this was a good accessory pair.


Last worn: stud earrings, denim jacket, rose gold necklace, grey tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, grey tee and jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, green tee, navy stripe shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, navy stripe shorts and cardigan, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco black button bag and skirt.

Colourful Tees, Printed Culotte Shorts and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

On some warmer autumn days I got out my printed Kmart culotte shorts, and paired them with basic block colour tees and my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This colourful mango yellow tee hadn't been worn in a while so it was overdue another wear! I thought it was perfect for being bright and noticeable as I sat on the sidelines of my son's sport activity at school. It was so good getting to cheer them on, although the unexpected rain did put a bit of a damper on things, it cleared up in time for the kids to compete.

Because I had forgotten an umbrella I was glad I'd gone with this light shorts and tee outfit - it dried out nice and quickly for working from home later in the day. My friends and I huddled in the sidelines under blankets and umbrellas from those who had them, but it wasn't quite enough to keep us all dry. I had my water bottle and a hat with me so I went for this big Chloe Marcie bag - it holds so much, perfect size for all the essentials and more.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, mango yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, lemon print navy culotte shorts, white Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: mango yellow tee and jeans, lemon print navy culotte shorts and graphic tee, white Converse and skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another shorts and tee outfit for the school run and working from home. I like these pastel print culottes, they are the same style as the pair above, but a different print and colour. They were a lucky opshop find. I decided to try them with this pastel blue tee. I wasn't sure if it was too much pastel at first, but I think this long necklace helped tie the pieces together nicely and added a bit of contrast.

While I didn't have a lot to carry with me, again I wore my Chloe Marcie bag, as being in a rush that morning it was easier not to have to change over my bag. The neutral brown works well with the blues and greys in this outfit I thought.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, pearl tassel necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pastel blue tee and maxi skirt, pastel print culotte shorts and blazer, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Black Denim, Pink Tees, Cupid Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Pink tees with printed cover ups, my thrifted Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and black denim. Autumn weather is slowly starting to arrive in Brisbane, so some days I'm in jeans as it's cooler, other days it's back to denim skirts and bare legs.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable outfit for the school run and working from home, jeans and a tee was perfect. With the peaches in the floral print of this burgundy cover up I thought I'd try the ombre pink tee with it for something different, and I really liked this combination.

Kept the rest of the outfit simple and neutral with the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and the black skinny jeans.


Last worn: burgundy floral print cover up, silicone necklace, ombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: burgundy floral print cover up and shorts, ombre pink tee and white denim, black skinny jeans and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another pink tee and black denim outfit, this time with a denim skirt as it was much too warm for jeans. This navy tie dye duster was a good physical sunblock and I liked the way it moves around my legs when walking. With the flooding from the cyclone recently the mozzies are out in full force and it's good to have an extra something stopping them from biting my legs when I'm out dog walking in the mornings and evening when they are most active.

It's a shame that the silver hoop earrings are hard to spot in my hair here, as I liked how they were a similar shape to the necklace. I'll need to try get a clearer photo next time I wear them together, I like the pairing so they are sure to be worn together again soon!


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, silver hoop earrings, mixed metal necklace, pink modal tee, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape and jeans, pink modal tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Blue Tees, A-Line Skirts and Black Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Wearing blue tees and a-line skirts with my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette shadow dancer geo circle tassel drop earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd worn this skirt, and the rust coloured linen is so perfect for autumn that I had to get it out again. I wore it with this simple blue tee, and then as the paper bag waist and the tie waist and button detail on the skirt added enough interest, I skipped wearing a necklace. I did add some statement earrings, like the skirt these gold ones hadn't been worn in a while, I forgot how heavy they were! They are so pretty though, I liked the way the circles matched the circular buttons on the skirt, although they are not the easiest to see in my wavy hair.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for lunch and a couple of errands and birthday present shopping with my son.


Last worn: statement gold earrings, blue tee, orange linen button up skirt, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: blue tee and maxi skirt, orange linen button up skirt and denim jacket, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the outfit above so much I wore a very similar one again the next day for church. This time I went matchy-matchy, with the blue tee and blue Converse sneakers. Again I wore my little Mimco crossbody bag, I just needed the essentials for church.

Although this animal print ruffle hem a-line skirt is a bold statement piece, unlike the outfit above I felt I needed a necklace with this. I liked this bronze foil one, an opshop find, as it matched the colours in the skirt so well.


Last worn: blue tee, bronze foil necklace, animal print skirt, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue tee with red, animal print skirt and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.
